Re: Subfile question

The indicator assigned to SFLCLR must be on to clear the subfile.  The
indicator(s) assigned to SFLDSP and SFLDSPCTL  must be on to display
the subfile formats.  Assigning the inverse of an indicator is an
interesting technique, because you won't be clearing and displaying
the subfile at the same time, but when I learned subfiles, it was
easier at first to just learn how the different keywords work, with
indicators assigned one to each keyword.
